tendency is to keep the gro und cool and

than good.
1t should not be cast upon very young

be very sure to kill them.

make no difference, be did not salt until
the onions were about TWO inches high,
and it killed them all; which he laid to
me, and meant to give me fearful
scoding, but sowing another root crop
that turned out sp'endid!y, he gave up
the scoIding. Had he waited until the
tops were as big as large pipe-stem, he
might have covered the ground an inch
deep, and his onions would have done
finely.
Onions should be sown on tho same
ground year after yea, as they continue
to improve. Thee arc yards hundred

A correspondent OF The Rur.
Yorker. after careful experiments, gives
the following estimate Of the value of
the manure made by fowl in one year a:
The average full grown fowl consu III IS
IN year the following quantity of food
or Its equivalent: sc pounds Of corn, 30
pcunns OF wheat, .; pounds Of bran aud
al unknown qianti,y of hay in winter,
grass In summer, bugs, worms, ground
Shells, bone, lime, broken crockcry,
gravel stones, etc. The following table
gives the value of manure from 100
pounds Of each of the abovc-named
grain foods: Corn, 33 cents; wheat, IS
cents; bran, % cents. Thus we have,
leaving cut fractions, from sc pounds Of
corn, manure valued at 10 cents; from
80 pounds of wheat, 10 cents, and
from IS pounds of bran, 10 cents
total AZ cents, to say nothing of all
the other articles consumed. The waste
need not be more than with any other
stock. With me it is less, for l have
learned the value of the manure. and
am careful to save and properly store
it. For corn and many other crops, it
has equaicd Peruvian guano, pound for
pound, on my farm.

Feather Reds.

Never sun feather beds, says an ex-
change. CAR them thoroughly on a
windy day, in cool place. The sun
draws the oil and gives the feathers
rancid smell" hich reminds US of a
question that wa, put to Southern
newspaper by Southern woman, asking
The editor to tell her the best way to fry
beefsteak. A Boston editor reflected the
custom of the best cooks. by making
supplementary answer to the effect that
bccfstcak should not be fried at all but
should be brolcd. A remark Of the same
tenor may be made regarding feather
beds. They are laid away with the
trumpcry of the past, except a few that
!ingcr in use as family hcirlooms. They
belong to IN age that did not half know
low to live, that had poor food, scAnt
clothing, barely the necessaries of life
]many of them now the reflections Of
posterity) and little or no beauty in
home composition, neither within nor
without. One may as well advise the
best way to cook captured enemy Or
to make garment of wo,ly sheep skin,
or to cook in fireplace, as to care for
feather beds. The feather bed is now
almost tradition. - Good Housekeeping.

Potato Culture.


Potatoes may he cut and sproutcd
wherever they can be placed upon a
heap Of horse manure, covered with a
few inches of soil, and then taken up
and set in the hills where they are ready
to grow. Some farmers plant large fields
in this way. 1t makes considerable
extra labor to do this, as the sprouted
pieces must be taken up ard handled
very carefully to prevent breaking off Of
the sprouts or roots, and must be set in
their places by hand. Those who have
tried it claim that the extra prices paid
for the earliest potato in the market will
pay for this extra labor. They also
c'aim another advantage in getting the
-crons out Of -.ll..ss;z4.way befare A-xing and
in season to put il sccosd crop upon
the same land, which is an object where
land is high priced aud gardens are
small. Many gardeners upon such lands
claim that they would make no profit if
they only grew one crop in season upon
their gardens, and often contrive to sro"
three, by having one planted and par
TALLY grown before the other is removed.
The farmer who has plenty of land usu-
ally considers that it takes moro manure
and labor to grow two crops upon one
acre than it does to cultivate two acres
Maintaining the Fertility Of Soils.
There are few rules in regard to main
tanning fertility which should be fol-
lowed. One is that all the unsold OF
unfed portions of crops should, If posi-
bic, be returned to the soil upon which
they grew, or an equivalent should be
returned. Thus, if wheat is raised, the
grain sold and the straw composted with
the dung Of animals, we form manure
which returns much that was removed
by the crop. If the straw be partly or
wholly fed to animals, still large por-
ton naturally finds Its way back to the
soil. A portion OF the plant food sup
Div of the soil is irrccovcrably lost in the
grain sold, in the bones of the animals,
in the milk sold off the farm, etc. But
We can calculate very nearly what this
loss is and make it good at small expense
if VIC do not delay too long. 1t is much
better to feed than to sell hay and straw,
because the tax upon the soil is so much
less. and whoever does sell these pro-
ducts should surely plan to buy ferti-
lizcrs TO make good his drafts upon the
soil. Near cities it is always easy to buy
stable manure, and this is ordinarily the
most economical. Tue hay, grain and
straw are thus returned, the loss is not
only made good, but the condition OF
the land is improving all the time, fol-
this is the natural result Of tillage.

What time our lips grew one together,
My love, my life,
Was it in sad or sunny weather.
BY mountain snow or meadow heather
IL peace or strife?
What time our souls grew one forever
By night or day,
In growth that blooms and withers never,
Was 1t by fate or sweet endeavor
That none could staye
But ali, why ask? For love is better
Than death can be;
Since even carth's bondage, law and letter
Shall bind not love with sleeps cold fetter,
Ny life, for thee.
